Dunmallet is a well-received cottage praised for its fabulous location, pet-friendly policy, and beautiful garden with river views. While cosy and equipped, some guests found it small for six people, with limited seating and dining space. The enclosed garden is a hit with dog owners, and the proximity to local amenities is a plus. Some maintenance issues were noted, but the responsive owner is seen as a positive aspect.
The cottage is generally described as very clean, with no specific complaints about cleanliness, indicating high standards are maintained.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to local pubs and shops, beautiful surroundings, and direct access to the river, making it an exceptional setting.
The cottage is considered cosy and comfortable, but some guests felt it was too small for six people, affecting the overall comfort level.
Facilities are well-equipped, but there were several maintenance issues mentioned, such as problems with the dishwasher, shower head, and heating. The hot tub was also noted to be expensive to run.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Good location, this cottage is cosy but small for a property that can hold 6 people. Everything you need was provided. The hot tub was expensive to run as we had to buy a lot of logs/kindling to be able to use it twice. First come first served for the hot water for the shower.

Fabulous cozy cottage in amazing location. Very well equipped, perfect for our 4 night stay. Refreshingly pet friendly, the owners are clearly doggy people and unlike some “pet friendly” accommodation our furry friends were allowed upstairs as long as we adhered to the “paws on floors” policy which was perfect for us!! The cottage is a one minute walk from the bars and shops in the village, and the garden is spectacular in the autumn so I can only imagine what it’s like in the summer, backing directly onto the river with spectacular views!!!! Would definitely recommend this holiday accommodation!
